Walks
in Shetland.

From the Knab to the Snap.

Walking in Shetland means the coast, the moor and the wind, often all in the same hour. In Lerwick, a short circuit leads out from the town round the Knab headland and back. On Fetlar, a clifftop path from Funzie passes stacks and seabirds on its way to a sea arch standing out of the water. Near Aith, a short path follows a moorland burn to a waterfall the old Norn speakers called the pool of the ravens. The long red shingle shore under Ronas Hill is a hard day, and only for experienced walkers. Wear proper boots and carry a waterproof whatever the sky looks like.
